Exactly.  Or maybe the more cogent response would be "Because a same-sex
relationship is, by definiton, not marriage since marriage is defined as
a certain relationship between opposite-sex couples".

In the same way that, if someone were to ask "Why isn't cutting down a
tree not murder", you would answer "Because cutting down a tree is not
murder" (to use your straw-man circular argument), or perhaps "Because
the word 'murder' is defined as the killing of a human being; trees are
not human beings; therefore cutting down a tree is not murder", and any
reasonable person would get it because they know that the word "murder"
has a meaning in the English language, and so does "marriage".
